Chemoenzymatic synthesis of deoxy analogues of the DNA topoisomerase II inhibitor eleutherin and the 3C-protease inhibitor thysanone

The asymmetric synthesis of (−)-9-demethoxyeleutherin 6, (+)-9-demethoxyeleutherin 7 and (+)-7,9-deoxythysanone 8 has been achieved using a microwave assisted kinetic resolution of racemic alcohol 11 with Novozyme 435® as the key step.
